Knutsford florist The Black Rose wowed visitors with their exquisite floral displays – the judges were impressed too, awarding the shop a Gold Medal and the Best Exhibit in the Floral Studio awards and pictured with their Gold Medal are Lynne Miller and Mark Entwistle
The hundreds of roses used in the display definitely made for a dramatic compliment for the rest of the flowers on show.
During the show at Tatton Park, people look at displays for inspiration and to admire the work put into them.
The Black Rose's archway, with the contrasting colours between light and dark, was a spectacular piece which drew a lot of attention from the passing visitors.
Another Gold medallist was St Helens College with this display
The simplistic black and white backdrop for the displays allow the true detail and elegance of the floristry to shine through.
Tall containers hold tall pieces in white and green. The green really stands out, showing the elegance and effort put into them.
Reaseheath College was another medal winner, with a Silver Grenfell awarded for this display
These beautiful hanging pieces in metal containers would look great at a wedding reception.
The Floreat stand was all about detail
A closer look at the black and white containers under the display showed a truly monumental attention to detail had been put into it.
Individual stems placed into individual holders made for an interesting display on the Floreat stand.
Floral cakes are all the rage at the moment and here Reaseheath College show off their take on the trend.
The display is based around the Alice in Wonderland story and here we see a floral representation of Alice herself.

During a visit to last year's show, some of the children from the Winsford Education Partnership asked why there were back-to-back gardens but no ‘front-to-front’ gardens. Inspired by this idea, the Winsford Education Partnership’s garden featured 20 small ‘front-to-front’ gardens created by local schools and organisations. Each garden had a design based on a different nursery rhyme or children’s story
